4 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
4largesRusset potatoes, peeled --
Aprox 2 pounds OR
8smallsRusset potatoes, peeled
2tablespoonsUnsalted butter
2tablespoonsOlive oil
Salt and pepper -- to taste

Directions

Grate the potatoes onto a large clean kitchen towel that can be stained. Roll the potatoes up in the towel and wring to remove moisture. (It is best to do this over the sink, since it will produce a suprising amount of liquid). Melt the butter with the olive oil on a large griddle. Form the grated potatoes into 4 pancakes. Cook the pancakes over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until bottom is golden brown, then flip the pancakes. Cook on the other side for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve plain or with sour cream and applesauce.
